Lyrics
Out of sight and out of mind
Don?t try to tell me no more that you?re color blind
Water comin? up, can?t leave town
I?m sinking down
No bank account, no credit card
No health insurance, I ain?t got no car
Water comin? up, can?t leave town
I?m sinking down
You can see on TV, so much black and brown skin
Ain?t nothin? new, this original sin
Our kids been starvin? since I don?t know when
But now they?re starvin? on CNN
Might call it looting, you might call it theft
But it?s just surviving when you got nothing left
Livin? on the edge, right on the brink
I don?t give a damn what you think
Too poor to leave, no help on the way
I hear that your pets got out but we got to stay
Water?s comin? up, can?t leave town
Water?s comin? up, can?t leave town
Water?s comin? up, and I believe I?m sinking down
